Diagnostic tools
Several diagnostic tools provide feedback about problems with arrays. The most important are:
• ADU
This utility is available on both the SmartStart CD and the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support
).
The meanings of the various ADU error messages are provided in the HP Servers Troubleshooting
Guide.
• POST messages
Smart Array controllers produce diagnostic error messages at reboot. Many of these POST messages
are self-explanatory and suggest corrective actions. For more information about POST messages,
refer to the HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
• Server Diagnostics
To use Server Diagnostics:
a. Insert the SmartStart CD into the server CD-ROM drive.
b. Click Agree when the license agreement appears, and click the Maintenance tab.
c. Click Server Diagnostics, and follow the on-screen prompts and instructions.
